Ants in Your Pants?

Lately it seems as though Legend Mark Grace is just a little hyperactive during the pre game warm ups. And by a little hyper I mean he is like a Chihuahua on a five hour energy drink.

Watching him interact with the fans is like a DVD in fast forward. He jumps from fan to fan having his picture taken or stealing a kids hat and running around.

I’m beginning to wonder if the Diamondbacks may have to institute mascot drug testing just to make sure Grace isn’t hopped up on some kind of Monster drink or something.

The problem is, by the time the Legends race begins Grace looks ready to crash. Tonight was a perfect example. Leading up to the game he was animated and bouncing around but then in the bullpen during the fifth inning his big foam eyes looked glazed like a donut.

As the race started Grace was running like he had an army of red ants in his pants. By the time he arrived at home plate Grace had slowed to a crawl. When he finally crossed the finish line well behind the winner I almost expected to see paramedics come onto the field and put a mirror under Grace’s polyester nose to see if he was even breathing.

Something really needs to be done about Grace’s training regime otherwise he is never going to win. For now he’s 0-26 and things are not looking good.
